Decided to check out the big place they have on Lusail St.  Being new to Qatar I wanted to get some info. on things to do here.

Anyway, I was shocked to be denied entry as they have a policy of 'families only'.  The security guard couldn't give me a reason as to why this should be the case so I was wondering if anybody on here might know?

Interesting! I thought this applied to certain malls only.

Nope.  Families only although they also have a big sign that says 'No kids allowed' :)So all-in-all, a nice warm welcome from the Tourism Authority!
